Evonne cheered inwardly when she saw Zoey's face turn pale.

It seemed that Elijah was less stupid than she had thought, and knew why she had brought Sally over, which was why he did not hesitate to display all his affection for Sally before them.

She turned her head and said warmly, "Ms. Williams, please don't take offense, my friend here just got married to her husband a while ago and they're still in their honeymoon phase. They're not being this rude to you on purpose."

Zoey's phoenix eyes darted towards her. "It's alright."

"I heard that Mrs. Moses is not in good health."

As she spoke, she took an elegant sip from her cup. "With her background, it must have been difficult for her to meet a man like Elijah. It's no surprise that she's clingy towards him."

Her words sounded gentle, but its hidden meaning was as so, Sally was from the country, and now that she had finally nabbed herself a rich husband, she would be guarding him with all her might in fear that he would get s

    “I have my methods of memorization!” Zoey, “...” Why would she want to get memorization tips from her? She was doing this on purpose! Did this idiot think that she had a bad memory and could not remember anything!? “It’s true, Ms. Williams does need some training.” Elijah laughed lightly as he ruffled Sally’s hair. “I had a lot of questions for Ms. Williams during our conversation just now, and she failed to remember a lot of details.” He smiled at his wife. “Why don’t you give Ms. Williams some pointers when you have the time?” “Alright!” Sally nodded her head in agreement after she had received validation. She looked at Zoey with a sincere gaze as she said, “Ms. Williams, don’t feel dejected. I’m sure the reason you can’t remember things is that you’ve been using the wrong technique to do so.” “I’ll use a systematic method to teach you, and seeing how you’re my husband’s friend, I won’t request payment of any kind!” Zoey, “...” What the f*ck! The expression

    Elijah liked watching her flail around helplessly like a bunny, so he continued pushing her. “I did not realize Mrs. Moses was… paying attention to that when she was checking Zoey Williams out?” Startled, Sally’s face began steaming. She hurriedly pushed his hands away. “Don’t… don’t even think about it.” This was a private room in a restaurant. Anyone could come in at any time!” Elijah’s low voice, accompanied by his warm breath, travelled into her ears. “Even if someone comes in… can they control what I want to do with my wife?” “Besides…” His eyes glinted dangerously as he looked at her. “I’m thinking about it.” The alarm sounded in Sally’s mind! “I… I’m a traditional woman!” She pushed him away, putting a safe distance between them. “Besides, I... I was sick not too long ago. My body has not recovered fully yet!” The girl retained a defensive position as she gulped. “Hubby, you need to calm down!” The look in his eyes terrified her. She gritted her teeth as sh

    “However, trusting you is one thing, and you giving me an explanation is another thing.” Just because she trusted him completely did not mean that he could meet with a woman without telling her, right? If it was Zoey Williams today, who would it be another day?He said that a couple should be honest with one another and had made her promise that she would always tell him beforehand if she met with someone of the opposite gender. Well then, it wasn’t fair if he did not abide to that himself, right? Arms around her, Elijah sighed softly. “I didn’t meet with her because she’s beautiful. Nor for any other reason.” He sighed heavily as he pulled up a picture on his phone. “Look.” Sally took the phone. When her gaze landed on the two people in the photo, her eyes widened immediately. It was a photo of Zoey with a teenage boy. However, her temperament seemed much better than what had been displayed just now. Although they looked the same, the person in the photo seemed se

    What Elijah had just said only served to confuse Sally even more. She pursed her lips as she looked at him and said, “So, what you’re saying is… not only does she look like your sister, but someone also… brainwashed her with your sister’s thoughts?” Elijah remained silent. However, his silence only confirmed his thoughts. Sally shook her head. “That’s impossible…” She was a med student. She knew that there was no way to completely transfer a dead person’s memories into another person’s mind with today’s medical technology. Not even hypnosis worked that way. Back in high school, her teacher had taught her the elimination method. By removing all impossible options, the remaining one would be the correct answer, no matter how ridiculous it seemed. Thus, the girl pursed her lips and said, “Hubby, I think there might be a possibility that… your sister might still be alive.” This was the only way to explain it. Elijah would not have told Zoey Williams the inside jokes h

    She was not going to overthink it! After all, she was still a patient! She had to remain positive!With that, she rolled off the bed and skipped over to where Blair was standing. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to splash about!" It was mid-afternoon, and the sun was beating down mercilessly. Sally and Blair laughed as they watered the plants and sprayed each other with the hose. Elijah looked at them quietly from the study's window, which was on the second floor.Thirteen-year-old memories resurfaced. Back then... She had done the same thing, accompanying him as they ran playfully around the house and gardens. She had protected him after their parents had passed away, which enabled him to remain innocent and full of life even at the age of thirteen. However, after that… He shut his eyes. If it had not been for Sally, he would not have felt any warmth in the world.Sighing, he took the photograph and brushed his thumb gently across the woman’s face. “Are you… still ali

    Sally spent half a month recuperating in the Moses house. Half a month later, the minute she had gotten Jameson’s approval, she immediately cleared her leave with the school. She woke up early on the day of her return to school, walking down the stairs energetically with her bag in hand. “You’re up early this morning, Madam.” Aunt Leigh smiled as she brought breakfast to the table. “Are you returning to school today?” Sally sat down at the table, not even pausing to place her bag aside. “Yeah, I go back to class today!” “I’ve been stuck at home for so long, I’ve nearly grown mouldy!” “Really?” Dressed in his suit, Elijah buttoned his cuffs as he walked down the revolving staircase. “Come and let me smell you and see if you’ve grown mouldy.”Sally rolled her eyes at him and lowered her head to take another bite. Elijah smiled as he continued his descent and sat down opposite her. His gaze fell on her bag, which she insisted on having with her even as she ate. “Are you

    Her maths lecturer glared at her. “You’ve been on sick leave for so long, and you’re still late on your first day back!” “Go to your seat!” “I’m so sorry.” Sally hurried over to her seat after apologizing to her lecturer. “Check that out. Ever since Williams came, all our lecturers and classmates have fallen in love with her and aren’t as jovial to you anymore.” Evonne’s mouth twitched as she passed Sally a tissue to wipe her sweat away. “What a fox she is. She’s even managed to turn our maths lecturer into her play-toy.” Sally did not quite understand what Evonne meant and furrowed her brows in confusion. She turned her head and was just about to ask for clarification when she saw a girl turn her head around to stare at her. When their eyes met, Zoey Williams smiled at Sally before returning to her original position to listen to the lecture. Sally’s eyes widened in shock. “Why… why is she here?” “She transferred a few days ago, something about being on an exchange

    When Evonne brought that up, Sally realized that there were faint scratches on Evonne’s face. She scrunched her brows together as she raised a hand to gently stroke her face. “These…” “I just got in a fight with them.” Evonne dodged her hand. “Zoey’s been here for a week, but I didn’t tell you because I was afraid it might affect your mood while you recovered at home.” Evonne simmered indignantly when she saw the crowd around Zoey grow larger. “What blasphemy!” “You haven’t been to class for half a month, it’s really impressive that you only got two questions wrong in the quiz.” “They’ve been to every lecture, there’s nothing to be proud of!” Sally pursed her lips and ruffled Evonne’s hair, copying what Elijah always did to soothe her. “Oh, you.” “What’s there to be annoyed about?” “Well, you used to be the student representative, as well as the popular kid.” “I hate these fence-sitters!” Sally felt that Evonne was overthinking things. “To be honest, I’ve never re

    ————One year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A City’s grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. “When I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.” “However, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.” “Who would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freya’s younger brother. As per her wishes, I’ll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.” Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. “My beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.” Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp

    “If you destroy everything I have, then I’ll destroy everything you have!” Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!” “It’s all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. I’ve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!” “Sally Summers, it’s all your fault! Everything is because of you!” “I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!” “Alright then, go be a ghost!” Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenie’s chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. “Elijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!” “If you can’t choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!” “Your sister is just one part of my plan!” “You probably don’t know this yet.” Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir

    The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, “You are…” “I’m the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.” She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the woman’s face turned increasingly paler. “You have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.” “We just met the other day.” She shook her head as she spoke. “It makes sense, though. It’s only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.” “Forgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you don’t have many days left.” “When you’re gone, he’s going to leave his daughter and marry me.” The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, “Impossible… That’s impossible…” “Quincy, he…” “Nothing is impossible.” Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the woman’s face. “Look, I’m pregnant.” “How could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences don’t exi

    “In your dreams!” Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. “I wouldn’t want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!” The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. “You’re going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?” “You planted your seed in my stomach.” Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. “So, what do you want?” “Let’s meet up.” Queenie yawned. “Can you pick a place?” “There’s a cafe nearby the hospital.” Quincy sighed. “I don’t have much time for you, so don’t try talking nonsense after we meet.”“What a man you are, trying to ghost someone after you’ve slept with them.” The woman shrugged nonchalantly. “Alright. You can wait for me. I’ll be there soon.” She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. “Why do you want me to meet her?” “You’ve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.” “This time, Quincy, you’re the bait.

    The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincy’s skin. Intense pain came, but he did not seem to feel a thing as he continued pushing. Suddenly, a large, strong, and dry hand took hold of him. Quincy frowned as he tried to continue forcing the knife in, but he could not exert any more strength. Elijah’s cold voice rang beside his ear. “Do you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?” “Have you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?” Stunned, Quincy turned instinctively to look at Freya. The woman was sobbing controllably. As she gazed tearfully at him, it seemed that she had multiple things she wanted to say but could not find the words. Tears flowed once more from Quincy’s eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. “It’s my fault.” “It’s all my fault!” “Freya… I can’t live without you.” “I cannot… I…” Freya could not stop herself from wr

    After Freya was hospitalized, Quincy canceled all his work plans and spent all his time in the hospital watching over her. Although she never let him in, and although he could only ever gaze at her through the window from afar. However, he insisted on not taking even a step away from her ward. He stood guard there stubbornly, and no one could talk any sense into him. Both Elijah and Thomas could not bring themselves to chide or drive Quincy away when he acted this way. And thus, Freya finally agreed to meet him on the seventh day. The woman’s face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincy’s eyes when he saw what his beloved looked like from a close distance. It was all his fault. It was all his fault! He had caused her to end up this way! All because of him!“Is there anything you would like to say?” Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have

    Sally’s lips pursed themselves together when Freya’s name was mentioned. She would admit that she had had a horrible first impression of Freya when they first met. The woman had stripped nearly twenty years of Zoey’s life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sally’s mother during her and Elijah’s wedding. However, times had changed, and five years had passed since then. Sally could not bring herself to be cruel toward Freya, who now showed complete remorse. Additionally, she had treated Sam and Little Sarah with genuine kindness lately. Sally had begun to think of her as family. Yet, now, something like this happened. She sighed. “Freya…” “Freya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.” Freya’s illness was in her heart. The sort of illness she had made it so that she could not be made angry, excited, or frantic. If not, not e

    Evonne and Sally were slurping instant noodles when Elijah and Thomas arrived at the doctor’s on-call room. They were starving and had virtually no energy left. The only thing in the room they could use to fill their stomachs was instant noodles. When the door opened, Elijah frowned slightly when he saw his petite wife steadily making her way through a pack of instant noodles. The man strode over and grabbed her bowl. “Unhealthy stuff.” Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. “I don’t care if it’s not nutritious! I’m hungry… Hubby?” The emotions in the woman’s eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijah’s neck and jumped into his arms. “You’re back!” “I missed you so much!” He had been on his ocean trip for more than half a month. They had never been separated for so long since getting back together. The signal on the sea was spotty, and she could never

    When Sally finished suturing the last ruptured blood vessel in Freya’s heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. “It’s steady! The patient’s heartbeat is steady again!” The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it weren’t for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! “Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!” “Of course.” A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, “How did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?” The young nurse’s mouth widened in surprise. “In that case… why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?” The senior doctor sighed. “I guess they have their reasons…” In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. “Dr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?” Sa
